Rice Chex Chicken Nuggets

RICE CHEX CHICKEN NUGGETS:

(Note: I used to make these with commercial "Rice Bread Crumbs" that I found at our local health food store, but they turned out soggy and tasted weird. So we tried RICE CHEX INSTEAD!)

 I had Z and S (age 3) bash baggies of Rice Chex cereal into crumbs (about 5 cups). 
Then I mixed about 1/2 tsp oregano, 1tsp garlic powder, 1/2 tsp onion powder, 1 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp pepper together and A and N (ages 8 and 9) combined the seasonings with the Rice Chex crumbs. 
I cut a pound of chx breasts into 1.5 inch pieces. A and N formed an assembly line coating them in extra light tasting olive oil (with salt and garlic powder sprinkled in it), then in Rice Chex mixture, then onto the cookie sheet.  (NOTE: You have to really push the crumbs into the chicken.)
Baked for 20 mins at 400 degrees, then turned on the broiler for 3 mins to crisp the tops.  THEY WERE AWESOME!!  Even I, the chicken nugget hater, LOVED these!  ENJOY!

(Update: After eating these for lunch and dinner 3 days in a row (by request), we've determined that the twins are sensitive to oregano.  Boo.  THANKFULLY these still taste AMAZING without it!)
